Chicago Cubs (Curtis): Yeah I'm not going to implement anything where we have to monitor the total number of FAs, hard enough to police 2 nominations/team max and the Wednesday morning cutoff. I don't really see an issue here. The inseason FA pool is razor thin already Feb 14, 2025 11:37:24 GMT -8
Chicago White Sox (Mark): well you dont have to police anything, it will show if the number of threads in the forum on the homepage, if it goes above 48 then that's it Feb 14, 2025 13:12:42 GMT -8
Minnesota Twins (Scott): The amount of work that goes into this league must be overwhelming at times, so I think we should just respect the process that’s put in place. I feel like we went through all this last year and I find it a bit draining. Just an opinion but let’s move on. Feb 14, 2025 18:33:35 GMT -8
Chicago Cubs (Curtis): Amen! Feb 15, 2025 19:46:39 GMT -8
Chicago White Sox (Mark): Well it wasn't even a discussion, it was just said no, that's why i bring it up again. It's not meant to be draining, it's just a few more players available in FA tha was all. im not asking for a rule change, the rules allow for 48 players per round Feb 15, 2025 23:19:47 GMT -8
Chicago White Sox (Mark): i'm just putting forward the idea that we have the ability to use 48 players per round as many GMs do not nominate, especially as we get into rounds 2 and 3 Feb 15, 2025 23:20:36 GMT -8
Chicago White Sox (Mark): i think established teams want the status quo as they can control the prices better in FA which i why it's not even a discussion point Feb 15, 2025 23:21:43 GMT -8
Chicago Cubs (Curtis): Mark, I appreciate your passion for improving the league! I do see it as a rule change to enforce a required number of nominations where the existing rules do not require that. I have found in the 8 years of the league that the depth of the FA pool feels Feb 16, 2025 20:26:17 GMT -8
Chicago Cubs (Curtis): "right" to me - generally very few position players available besides part-time roles, but enough to make inseason FA a worthwhile aspect of the league to monitor. I'm concerned that by mandating more players be nominated in pre-season FA that this Feb 16, 2025 20:27:53 GMT -8
Chicago Cubs (Curtis): historic "balance" is disrupted, as it certainly would be, and that teams who are in need of inseason FA now have no option but to trade, which feels limiting without real need to be. However I do encourage you to make a post in the suggestions area so Feb 16, 2025 20:29:20 GMT -8
Chicago Cubs (Curtis): that it can be discussed in more depth than via this chat box. However I do warn that (1) I will not implement rules that require additional oversight and (2) I move deliberately very slowly with rule changes, extensions have been 3-4 years in the making!

Chicago White Sox (Mark): i appreciate the feedback but no one is enforcing nominations, just that after 24 hours GMs are free to nominate any players as long as it doesnt go over the existing limit. i did post about this last year but it just got knocked back. i'll post about it Feb 16, 2025 22:21:35 GMT -8
Chicago White Sox (Mark): again but we'll see if anything happens. Feb 16, 2025 22:21:55 GMT -8
Cincinnati Reds (Mark): Rules do allow for additional in-season nominations if needed to fill your roster. So take advantage of that, if a rule change is not forthcoming. Feb 19, 2025 7:22:39 GMT -8
Pittsburgh Pirates (Mario): Looking for outfielder and pitchers if you have any available let me know Feb 21, 2025 7:01:57 GMT -8
Chicago White Sox (Mark): are we paying into fantrax this year? went to go on the link but it didn't work? Mar 6, 2025 1:33:27 GMT -8
Chicago White Sox (Mark): Thanks!!! Mar 6, 2025 1:33:34 GMT -8
Chicago Cubs (Curtis): Happy Opening Day! Free Agent nominations are now open Mar 27, 2025 6:09:54 GMT -8
Chicago Cubs (Curtis): Note tomorrow (Monday) night is the trade deadline! Aug 3, 2025 8:23:03 GMT -8
Chicago Cubs (Curtis): Note that trades can still occur as long as they only include AMAT, MiLFA picks, or prospects with no career MLB experience. Also note that DFA and waivers can be posted but claims will not be processed until after the JBL postseason is over Aug 8, 2025 10:12:22 GMT -8
